water on board ship

[newbycruiser]

Is there such a think as a refillable bottled water glass? Our family drinks ALOT of water, not soft drinks. We prefer bottled water over filtered tap, and don't want to shell out lots of dough trying to stay hydrated. Can you buy gallons of bottled water at ports and bring them on ship? Please help!

There is a water & coffee station on deck 9. I had water bottles a refilled daily.

Yes, there is water on deck 9 and ice & cups, too. It tastes GOOD, and even the water in my sink in the cabin was good. This comes from a person who has NOT drank my own tap water at home for the last 9 years. We are bottled water people, and I didn't need it on my cruise. I'm sure you are weary, but I know there are LOTS of "bottled water" people like myself, who feel the same as to the good taste of the ships water. Don't lug around unnecessary gallons for no reason..

We brought a couple of large water bottles and filled them up at the water station on Deck 9 several times daily. Free. Good. Cold.

We have been bottled water drinkers for years and think DCLs water is as good as you can get anywhere. Bring a couple of empties from home with the pop up caps and you will be set.

Go to a camping store and get a collapsible water jug...they come in assorted sizes. Good for packing, fill it up and keep in fridge. I always like a cold glass of water in the middle of the night, and this was great!

We have a 5 gallon water cooler in our kitchen and drink ONLY spring water. With that said --- I enjoyed the water at the deck#9 station VERY much. Yes, it is filtered water -- but it is just as good tasting as any spring water I've ever had.

I hauled three cases of bottled water onboard the ship and wished I didn't... bottled water is heavy! And as everyone else said, the drinking water onboard tastes very good.

I don't, however, agree with the poster who said the stateroom tapwater was just as good. That was <i><b>not</b></i> the case for us. Although that water is safe, it tasted like a swimming pool to me compared to the designated drinking water.

thank you all for your helpful advice! I've never been on a cruise, and don't leave for a year from now, but I'm starting to get excited. I'd like to buy clothes, but don't know if they'll fit next year...guess I should think positively!
